Has anyone else become the default "handyman" for Thai relatives?

I don't mean this in a negative way, I'm just curious if it's a cultural thing, or just the individuals involved.

My experience is that most of my wife's relatives aren't particularly "handy" - they'd much prefer to hire someone, even for things like changing a spare tire on the side of the road, or calling someone out when the car battery is flat at home.

My father-in-law was certainly happy to try doing most things before his stroke, but is quite impatient, so a lot of things would be quite... haphazard shall we say?

My sister-in-law's husband is completely hands-off - he won't even attempt to inflate a tire or assemble IKEA style furniture for example. His wife (my SIL) will actually try things first when it's basic assembly, but often needs help (some of which is just due to not having tools, because what's provided is usually terrible).

So is it just me, or are there others out there, who become a go-to for help with any number of tasks?

• removing snakes/tukay's
• electrical work
• plumbing
• basic issues with cars (e.g. flat tires, low batteries)
• assembling furniture
• installing shelves/etc on walls
